The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

It could! I believe I was typing while you posted.

 

At least it’s not on a RR xing……

 

That video was on FB this morning!

 

It’s just another case of ill-trained and Ill-equipped bottom feeders trying to cut cost and literally corners. There isn’t anything he can do at this point. I doubt he could even pull the leveling valve and over inflate enough to get through. But he doesn’t understand that all 45 ton trailers aren’t created the same.

 

He might could have made it if he committed and floored it and drug it across. But I don’t know how an auto shift acts in a situation like that

 

I think that's what he tried. Sure looks like it's dangling from the kingpin.

 

At this point just offload the excavator and get the trailer out of the road and reload it.

 

Yes, I agree, if, as others have said, my first ideas wouldn't work.

 

I don't see any height notice on the bridge, is that normal in the States? No excuse I know, but surely a good and relatively cheap help with prevention.
